Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool 32-bit

Generally, a download manager enables downloading of large files or multiples files in one session.
Many web browsers, such as Internet Explorer 9, include a download manager.
Stand-alone download managers also are available, including the Microsoft Download Manager.

if you do not have a download manager installed, and still want to download the file(s) you've chosen, please note:

You may not be able to download multiple files at the same time.
In this case, you will have to download the files individually.
(You would have the opportunity to download individual files on the "Thank you for downloading" page after completing your download.)

Files larger than 1 GB may take much longer to download and might not download correctly.

You might not be able to pause the active downloads or resume downloads that have failed.

The Microsoft Download Manager solves these potential problems.
It gives you the ability to download multiple files at one time and download large files quickly and reliably.
It also allows you to suspend active downloads and resume downloads that have failed.

.NET Framework 3.5 builds incrementally on the new features added in .NET Framework 3.0. For example, feature sets in Windows Workflow Foundation (WF), Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and Windows CardSpace. In addition, .NET Framework 3.5 contains a number of new features in several technology areas which have been added as new assemblies to avoid breaking changes. They include the following:

Deep integration of Language Integrated Query (LINQ) and data awareness. This new feature will let you write code written in LINQ-enabled languages to filter, enumerate, and create projections of several types of SQL data, collections, XML, and DataSets by using the same syntax.

ASP.NET AJAX lets you create more efficient, more interactive, and highly-personalized Web experiences that work across all the most popular browsers.

New Web protocol support for building WCF services including AJAX, JSON, REST, POX, RSS, ATOM, and several new WS-* standards.

Full tooling support in Visual Studio 2008 for WF, WCF, and WPF, including the new workflow-enabled services technology.

New classes in .NET Framework 3.5 base class library (BCL) that address many common customer requests.

IMPORTANT:

If you have installed earlier pre-release versions of .NET Framework 3.5, then you must uninstall them prior to running this installation by using Add or Remove Programs.

Important: Make sure you have the latest service pack and critical updates for the version of Windows on the computer. To look for recent updates, visit Windows Update. In addition, make sure you have Windows Installer 3.1 installed before you install this service pack
